Research into the causes of stillbirths: what should the priorities be?

The Royal College of Midwives (among other organisations) is involved in a project to determine which research areas should be prioritised when it comes to tackling the causes of stillbirth, and improving the information and care that's given to patients. (You can read more about the project here.)

Following an initial round of consultations with parents, professionals and organisations, they've come up with a longlist of 48 prospective research areas - and now they'd like some more input to help them whittle the list down to 20 or so. (None of the proposals will be 'lost' - they'll all be held on a database for future reference.)

Once the shortlist of 20 is drawn up, it will finally be reduced to the top 10 priorities by a stakeholder panel.

So if you'd like to participate in the drawing up of the shortlist of 20, do please take the survey here.
